Abstract:
An ammonia generating device is delimited by an outer casing that includes a main reservoir and a secondary reservoir. The main reservoir is capable of reloading with ammonia the body in the secondary reservoir. A heater is capable of heating the bodies in each reservoir. A connector connects the main reservoir to the secondary reservoir. The heater comprises first and second heating devices respectively installed inside the main reservoir and the secondary reservoir and operating independently. The main reservoir is thermally decoupled from the secondary reservoir to generate a temperature gradient between both reservoirs.
Abstract:
A valve comprises a valve body, a flap, and a shaft driving the flap. At least one first bearing guides a first end of the shaft. The first end of the shaft includes an inner housing emerging axially. The first bearing includes a barrel axially engaged in the inner housing, such that no accumulation of condensates can occur in the inner housing when the first end of the shaft points downward.
Abstract:
A heat recovery device extends between an inlet and an outlet for exhaust gas, and includes a valve delimiting a direct passage for gas between the inlet and the outlet. The valve comprises a valve body housing a gate movable between a closing off position and a released position. A heat exchanger has an exchanger inlet upstream of the gate and an exchanger outlet downstream of the gate. The valve comprises a tube partially extending inside the valve body up to a mouth edge at a distal end, with the mouth edge extending in a plane. The gate has a plane contact surface configured to come in a direct contact with the mouth edge when the gate is in the closing off position.
Abstract:
An actuator includes a slider intended to actuate a gate, movable between first and second positions, and an urging member to apply an urging force to drive the slider towards a first position when a temperature of the urging member is greater than a predetermined value. The actuator includes an elastic member that applies on the slider a return force towards a second position. The return force is less than the urging force. The urging member is a helical member with shape memory, and is ductile when its temperature is less than the predetermined value, and is formed towards a predefined helical shape when its temperature is greater than the predetermined value.
Abstract:
An exhaust line includes a spiral heat exchanger having a first passage for a first fluid and a second passage for a second fluid. The second passage is arranged in a manner such that the second fluid circulates from an inlet firstly in at least one first circumferential segment disposed in a proximity of a first axial end and then into a plurality of second circumferential segments shifted towards a second axial end relative to the first circumferential segment. The second fluid advances axially in a counter current flow against the first fluid towards the first axial end while passing from one second circumferential segment to the next.
Abstract:
An assembly includes a heat exchanger, a bypass conduit defining a path for passage for the exhaust gases and bypassing the heat exchanger, and a valve adjusting the amounts of exhaust gases circulating through the heat exchanger and through the bypass conduit respectively. The valve has a driving shaft, and the assembly further comprises a fluid box that is in fluid communication with a heat transfer fluid circulation side of the heat exchanger and arranged around the driving shaft to cool the driving shaft.
Abstract:
A driving device comprises a support, an actuator provided with an output shaft and fixed to the support, and an arm having a distal point provided to be connected to the closing member. A kinematic chain converts a rotation of the output shaft into a rotational movement of a proximal point of the arm around a rotation axis. The proximal and distal points are situated at opposite ends of the arm. The kinematic chain comprises a link connecting the arm to the support. The link is arranged to guide the proximal point of the arm in rotation around the rotation axis, and to transmit, between the arm and the support, radial orientation forces relative to the rotation axis.
Abstract:
A pump includes a chamber defined by a piston movable in a body comprising an intake opening able to communicate with the chamber and a first non-return member authorizing passage of fluid from the opening toward the chamber, and prohibiting the passage from the chamber toward the opening. An expulsion opening is between the chamber and a duct, and a second non-return member authorizes passage of fluid from the chamber toward the duct, and prohibits passage from the duct toward the chamber. The body includes a discharge opening communicating with the duct and able to communicate with the opening, and a third non-return member movable between an open position, in which the duct communicates with the opening, and a closed position prohibiting the passage of fluid between the duct and the opening. The pump includes a member to move the third non-return member.
